[deft spade]

No one taught me how to love

[clear plume]

How old are you?

[tardy rain]

Thats even more edge

[deft spade]

13

[young shoal]

🥴

[deft spade]

2 more months and I will be 14

[tardy rain]

Havent even been through puberty, maybe tone it down a notch

[clear plume]

Take your time, relationships don’t just come yk

[deft spade]

Maybe not mentally
But physically yes
I am taller
More hairy etc.

Sweaty

I think I just started puberty

[deft spade]

Never
That's disgusting

Also I don't want to break my 2nd rule

2nd rule: I will live alone and I will die alone (meaning: NO LOVE IN LIFE)

[clear plume]

That’s not very nice.

[tardy rain]

Are you intentionally trying to maximize cringe

[clear plume]

Sir lancebot is just being nice

[clear plume]

They’re a child, they can’t help it

[deft spade]

Yes

@clear plume I am not a child

I am a dumb child

You forgot the word dumb

[deft spade]

What

How is that nice

[deft spade]

Do I always need to be as nice as possible?
Most of time I am a kind and calm person

Also why do hearts represent love???
That's an organ that pumps blood
Some people eat hearts
Surgeons sometimes do heart surgeries
Some people track their heart beat
🫀 This is a heart
Not this❤️

[harsh tundra]

It's because hearbeat increases when you're excited so people thought love comes from heart

[deft spade]

🤯

[carmine apex]

as for the symbol ❤️ : it's not known for certain, but the prevailing theory is that the it represents the seed of silphium plant, which was used as a contraceptive in ancient times. Used so much that it went extinct, actually

[tranquil iron]

where does love come from if not from the heart?

[clear plume]

Your mind ig

[tranquil iron]

heart

heart heart heart

hmm

[deft spade]

Love is just a hormone

In my opinion
That is not healthy

[clear plume]

How can you talk about something being good for you or bad for you if you've never experienced it

[deft spade]

Hmm

[clear plume]

This is inherantently bad argument from me, but my point is that you need to expereince love before you talk about it

One day you're going to look back on this chat and think "damn I was such an idiot"

I used to tell myself I would never EVER get a BF (when I was your age) but ive been with someone for the past few months and ive never been happier

[deft spade]

I think it's not healthy because it literally bombs your brain with dopamine and oxytocin
That's like many nukes are dropped on your brain
And you just become crazy

[tranquil iron]

it's actually a stew of hormones: oxytocin, dopamine, prolactin, epinephrine, various endorphins, etc

[deft spade]

Yeah

[clear plume]

Once again

not true

[deft spade]

And you see everything, but truth

Truth is hidden from you

[tranquil iron]

it's very healthy. without those hormones, you'd be dead.

[clear plume]

^

[tranquil iron]

and dead is the opposite of healthy

thus, healthy

logic ftw!

[deft spade]

Yes, but lots of that
Is NOT HEALTHY (in my opinion)

[tranquil iron]

it's not a matter of opinion

[clear plume]

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/14/health/brain-on-love-wellness/index.html

Check this out

[tranquil iron]

those who love are statistically healthier, happier and live longer,

[deft spade]

Haha very funny

[clear plume]

Whats funny?

There is literally only facts being brought up here

[tranquil iron]

I hope that someday @deft spade finds love understands

[deft spade]

My grandpa that I never met (because he died many, many years ago before I was born)
Loved my grandma so much (my grandma was his wife)
And then he died because of heart disease
He died very young

[tranquil iron]

it's truly sad that lack of affection and human connection so often leads to bitterness which makes emotional fullfilment even less likely

[deft spade]

He didn't live longer

[deft spade]

He wasn't healthy
And he didn't live longer

[clear plume]

You can't take 1 case and say thats the norm

Anything is bound to have outliers

and thats just how life is

[tranquil iron]

he knows that. what's sad is that he thinks we're so stupid that we don't

[clear plume]

even if you flip a coin 1,00.000 times, you won't get heads and tails each 500,000 times

[clear plume]

No, hes 13 and doesnt know any better. No need to be mean towards him.

[tranquil iron]

oh

well, he's in for a few fun years soon, lol

[clear plume]

Yup lollll

[deft spade]

Why are you guys too kind

[clear plume]

Because we've all been there and thought like that before lol

[deft spade]

What if I am 13 years old?
You should be strict and punish me because I will learn from punishing

[clear plume]

Im not even that much older than you, im 16, 17 in May, but trust me babes, you will change your mind on this soon

[tranquil iron]

I'm starting to deal with my taxes 😦

[deft spade]

I AM STILL A CHILD
I NEED TO BE PUNISHED

[tranquil iron]

discipline is not the same as punishment

[deft spade]

When my father was a child he was punished for nothing
Just to learn how to live

[tranquil iron]

How do you know?

[deft spade]

He told me
And his parents told me
And his grandma told me

[tranquil iron]

but you said they died

[clear plume]

Back in the old day we used to kill gay people because they were gay

[deft spade]

No
My grandpa from mom's side died

[clear plume]

Does that make it ok?

Right. Just because something has been happening for a while, or happened in the past, doenst make it correct

[tranquil iron]

nor does it mean that it happened to you

[deft spade]

I don't know
My father is hater of lgbtq+
I am not hater nor lover of them
I have no comments for them nor anyone else

We are all humans

[tranquil iron]

are we?

[deft spade]

Why should I love or hate someone?

[tranquil iron]

it's not something you have control over

what you do have control over is how you respond to your emotions

[deft spade]

Oh
Emotions
It's still developing
I don't know what to do nor what to say

My body is still developing
And you smart people know that

[deft spade]

But raising a child is better with strict punishment
Better say abusing

That's what parents taught me

[shut ermine]

ey bud its okay to not feel physical attraction, that falls into the asexual spectrum, not very much talked about but thats a thing that exists

but yeah the pressure of society telling you that you HAVE to feel something hurts lol that was a lot of my life

[stiff galleon]

I know more than 90% of people

[young shoal]

even if that were true, that doesn't change how young you are

[stiff galleon]

I'm old dude

most people on the internet even tell me I'm too old

I see people at 14 making millions

I'm definitely not fulfilled right now

I expanded knowledge but didn't execute

not properly

[young shoal]

if you say so

[grave cove]

I haven't seen any of those

Also if you compare yourself with the 1% of course it's going to make yourself feel worse

[low chasm]

like, 90% of 14 year olds out there are doing 14 year old things, not making millions

[young shoal]

probably like, 99.99

[low chasm]

and yeah, 21 is older than 14, but it's not super old ~ you've got a good bit of your life in front of you

[wraith hound]

hell, 99% of people, not just 14 year olds, don't go out and make millions

[grave cove]

Like what

[low chasm]

they're the primary cause of inhumane valorant lobbies

[grave cove]

val lobbies are something else fr

[low chasm]

a more serious answer, school, ECs, games, that kind of thing. At that age, you're also ending middle school/starting high school, depending on where you live

[young shoal]

get off the kids games and playing something fun

[low chasm]

true gamers grind chess

[grave cove]

ok in all seroiusness

[low chasm]

lmao I had someone shit talk me in a chess.com game the other day

[grave cove]

what is up with chess these days

literally everyone has their face buried in their phones playing chess

i don't recall it being this big of a deal like a year ago

[young shoal]

ya, https://www.chess.com/blog/CHESScom/chess-is-booming-and-our-servers-are-struggling

[low chasm]

lichess is pretty based

[grave cove]

chess.com be turning into cod lobbies fr

[low chasm]

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila

you get unlimited puzzles

[young shoal]

lichess kinda took an L compared to chesscom though

[low chasm]

I guesss, the thing that irks me about chess.com is that you can only do, like, four puzzles a day

oh, but libra has a noticeably longer matchmaking time

[grave cove]

Oh cool, didn't realize that was actually a thing
They do give some plausible reasons in that post

Not complaining
Better Chess than like Fortnite or something

[low chasm]

last year it was clash that suddenly got popular, now it's chess

[young shoal]

chess? in 2023?

lol clash royale? brawl stars?

[low chasm]

royale

[young shoal]

aboo friendly battle me

[low chasm]

fine

[grave cove]

me and my homie were goated at 2v2s

[wraith hound]

wtf

i read some random comments here and people aren't even reading the post >.>

[grave cove]

Does this surprise you?

[wraith hound]

the fact that people will scroll down to comment without reading is sad

[young shoal]

it's a classic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

also aboo is bad at mega draft confirmed

[carmine apex]

i'm not into chess, but as i understand it, there's a meme among chess fans - and chess youtubers as well - that lichess does ELO inflation

[young shoal]

well, so does chesscom lol

and it's not like they're doing it on purpose

like, top GMs on chesscom are like 3200, when their FIDE is only like 2800

[grave cove]

he actually played with you?

fucking nerd lmao

[low chasm]

lets not be hasty, I was merely holding back

[young shoal]

sez u

[young shoal]

go agane

[low chasm]

can't now, homework 😔

[grave cove]

oh no

he's about to go super saiyan in clash royale
🥶

[young shoal]

what a loser

[grave cove]

brings out the mega knight, egiant, ebarb, rage, freeze combo

the ultimate midladder boss

[low chasm]

I'll have you know my dad owns supercell

[young shoal]

dude some ladder decks i've seen are absolutely wild

avg elixir of like 5

[grave cove]

nerf egiant

[low chasm]

buff egiant? sure

[grave cove]

no way a 8 feet tall fat electro wizard lookin dude is that overpowered

[young shoal]

they have rg, ebarbs, barbs, wizard, witch, hog, balloon

[grave cove]

the midladder classic

cannot predict these decks

[young shoal]

there's literally no skill

you just put cards down when you have elixir

oh and megaknight

[stiff galleon]

my friends are in Microsoft, made their first 6 figures at 15, have yt channel with over 2m subs, meanwhile me 💀

best I can say is 85k a year graduating a year early 🤡

[low chasm]

6 figures at 15 is no where near the majority, nor is it common

like Robin said earlier, comparing yourself to that 1% isn't helping anyone

[grave cove]

"shitting cards" as my buddy calls it

and hope to god that you can shit cards harder than your opponent can

[grave cove]

That's a lot more than compared to many people

I bet someone's compared themselves to you and felt the same way, as well

Always a bigger fish

[thin cloak]

A bigger insecure fish sometimes

[stiff galleon]

yeah I will keep grinding

I hope crypto recovers too

will be big help

[thin cloak]

Diversify investment don't just focus on that

[young shoal]

crypto should be like, 10% at most of your portfolio

[thin cloak]

Stuff you can lose

[young shoal]

actually fidelity has this funny crypto ETF

[thin cloak]

Wow is it doge and meme

[young shoal]

idk, but it was performing pretty well

[worn aurora]

[young shoal]

well, before ukraine, https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FDIG/

[thin cloak]

Be happy for your friends life isn't a zero sum competition game...eventually you may get there

[stiff galleon]

I am happy but I tryna match too

@thin cloak

it's not their success why I'm sad it's my failure

there difference

[thin cloak]

Great bunch of friends thou lmao

[stiff galleon]

yeah geniuses

[clear plume]

85K out of college is still like top percentile

You’re not a failure at all lol

[stiff galleon]

I am now but I won't be is my goal

$1m+ before I turn 25

[stiff galleon]

@young shoal Ukraine + ftx + luna really hurt crypto

seeing 2nd largest exchange and a top 10 project collapse made people think crypto is done

but it's been doing really well recently

like 2023 start to current

goes to show there's a lot more at play in crypto and people will still buy as they see a purpose in it

[dreamy cypress]

what I did for people hate me

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[rough sapphire]

heh?

[dreamy cypress]

I'm ok with that

I just want to know why

[rough sapphire]

what

[tropic sail]

@acoustic current

[acoustic current]

yeah?

well it's 11.30 im gonna study a bit and then go sleep

got anything important to say?

[tropic sail]

I had a question about what I should make for my cs project in school

Any ideas?

[acoustic current]

Do you have to submit a project in high school

[tropic sail]

Yes

[acoustic current]

Since I'm a freshman too

In India

...

[tropic sail]

Damn

Which class?

11th right?

[acoustic current]

Do you have to do a specific library

No freshman means 9th

...

11th is junior

[tropic sail]

They didn't even say that

[acoustic current]

10th is sophomore

[tropic sail]

Ok

[acoustic current]

Do you have a topic?

So you just have to do something with Python?

[tropic sail]

Nope all they said is that it should be useful for next year

[acoustic current]

If it's for beginner level stuff I'd do something simple around 200 lines

If you know OOP try to do something with that

[acoustic current]

That really doesn't tell you much

Which class are you in

[tropic sail]

11th

[acoustic current]

Python right

[tropic sail]

Yea

[acoustic current]

Look up the syllabus for 12th grade python online

Just do something on one of the topics

Something practical

Like say an unit convertor

[tropic sail]

Ik that there are functions next year

[acoustic current]

For metric to imperial

Functions?

....

really?

[tropic sail]

We were taught decimal to binary

[tropic sail]

Not kidding we just have datatypes this year

[acoustic current]

This is what I'd do anyways

[acoustic current]

tf they teaching you

Functions is really basic

[tropic sail]

String, tuple, dictionary

Boolean algebra

[acoustic current]

that's fine but like if you don't even know functions yet

what kinda project are you supposed to make

[tropic sail]

The basic stuff

[acoustic current]

Try to make something that utilises something major that you've learnt this year I guess

[tropic sail]

Oh I do remember one, he said to make a marksheet somehow

[acoustic current]

ask chatgpt or something

[tropic sail]

Too much traffic

[acoustic current]

mmhm

just google ideas probably better advice than mine

[tropic sail]

I'll see what I can make

[acoustic current]

Do you just have to print stuff

[tropic sail]

Yea prolly

[acoustic current]

I suppose you'd just use dicts

[tropic sail]

I mean, you can do it that way but I was thinking of linking ms word to python and then doingnit

[acoustic current]

Ooh I don't know how you do that stuff

If you don't even know functions yet

[tropic sail]

What have they taught you btw?

[acoustic current]

I don't know what you're supposed to do aside printing

In school?

Nearly nothing lol

If else statements

Simple data types

I learnt stuff online

Last year

[tropic sail]

Not like that they taught us functions like related to the datatypes

[tropic sail]

Yes that as well

Elif as well

[acoustic current]

Got pretty much most of the basics you need for most libraries

[tropic sail]

While loops

[acoustic current]

In 2 months

So yeah

I'm currently making discord bots with dpy

Later this year I want to do some GUI

[tropic sail]

That's all you need in the basics?

[acoustic current]

I learnt a bit of tkinter but I forgot everything now

[acoustic current]

nope

one sec

[tropic sail]

Using GUI library?

[acoustic current]

Yeah

Tkinter

- Primitive data types
- Operators
- Data structures
- Importing
- Variables, namespace and scope
- String formatting
- OOP
- Control flow
- Exception handling
- Function definitions
- Classes, objects, attributes and methods
- Console usage, interpreters and environments
- Decorators

Useful to know:
- Asyncio basics
- What is blocking?
- Logging
- knowing how to read docs properly

Other than the useful to know part

And some stuff

[tropic sail]

Ik importing so know worries about that

[acoustic current]

This is what I'd call the basics

If you know this stuff you're ready for most libs I'd say

OOP is really important

[tropic sail]

Data structures, classes and function definitions

[acoustic current]

If I were you

I'd not rely on school to learn to code

[tropic sail]

Are what's left

[acoustic current]

But you have JEE next year

So...

[tropic sail]

Thanks

[acoustic current]

You're better off studying pcm I guess

[tropic sail]

Yep

[acoustic current]

Otherwise I'd spend a month or two refining these basics

[tropic sail]

Ik, I'm just lazy

[acoustic current]

BTW

You don't have python 1st year

In india I think

C or C++ I think

[tropic sail]

We do

[acoustic current]

In CS?

[tropic sail]

Not always, it varies by state prolly

[acoustic current]

At least not in the first semester

Yeah probably

[tropic sail]

Well we do

[acoustic current]

How do you know that already

First year as in first year of college right

[tropic sail]

Next year we have MYSQL next year

[acoustic current]

I guess syllabuses are googlable

[tropic sail]

Highschool meaning 11the grade

[acoustic current]

^^

High school starts from 9th grade

[tropic sail]

I don't call it junior college

[acoustic current]

9th: Freshman
10th: Sophomore
11th: Junior
12th: Senior
1st year of college, 2nd year and so on

The high school terms aren't really important in India tbf

Nothing much changes when you enter high school

[tropic sail]

Yeal

Nothing does, time just passes

[acoustic current]

okay bye now it's nearly twelve

[tropic sail]

Bye

[grave cove]

who said it was sexual

[tranquil iron]

ok... if you say so

[grave cove]

i am simply omnipotent

i exist in all walls and no walls

fear me

[crystal spruce]

do you exist in the floor

[grave cove]

no

the floors are our mortal enemy

[crystal spruce]

ngl being in the floor seems more scary than being in the walls

with a wall at least they'd emerge at a height where you can use your fists and stuff

someone in the floor could just grab your leg suddenly and you're kinda screwed

The fact that I jokingly started typing this comment and co-pilot has the complete lyrics ready to auto-complete for me... I'm cackling.

BOXES: dict[str, list[str]] = {
    # Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
    # Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
    # There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
    # And they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same

[grave cove]

Looks like Co-pilot has gone completely cray cray

[deft spade]

I don't know why, but I never let people come close to me

• I am scared
• It feels disgusting
• unknown feeling

Why

Some of my friend think that I am traumatized
How?

[thick osprey]

You should seek a professional and not discord chat for these questions.

[deft spade]

I am not allowed to go therapies etc.

[grave cove]

Hahaha that's awesome, I'm surprised Copilot has such cultural awareness :P

[rough sapphire]

makes sense

[thick osprey]

13:59:60 would have made more sense if leap seconds were involved.

[frozen crane]

I think western culture far undervalues remembering things.
@tranquil iron we have people in the US who think they'll forget our civil war happened if we remove confederate statues 😛

[tranquil iron]

have you ever seen interviews of recent american college grads where they ask "who fought in the civil war?" and some answer with idiotic shit like "france".

no, you don't need to memorize the dates of the battles

[grave cove]

the troll

[tranquil iron]

but yes, you do need to memorize the participants

[frozen crane]

I'd be interested to know where those interviews took place, and how many people answered the questions correctly (but who weren't shown to drive a certain narrative).

though I grew up in Virginia (which I think saw the most civil war battles). I wonder if that sort of knowledge is worse in states west of the Mississippi

[tranquil iron]

quite often they guy would ask a small group. it's usually clear that the idiot's friends think he/she is an idiot.

what is it about discord's UI that seems to increase the # of typos in what I write?

hmm

Does anyone use search engines other than google or perhaps augment google yourself? What's your experience? Is there something revolutionary out there? Or maybe just a google search with better user experience? I would love to know what's out there.

technically they're disallowed at my school, but none of the teachers really care

man, my English teacher is pretty great. I can turn in my paper at 2 am, and she'll have it graded by morning

[young shoal]

that sounds unhealthy

[jovial oriole]

You spelt "based" incorrectly

[jovial oriole]

That's what she said

[grave cove]

Holy shit my English teacher is so based

The guy put on a video that would not fly

[jovial oriole]

What

[grave cove]

Non school appropriate video lol

[tranquil iron]

kids complaining about inappropriateness is hilarious to me

[grave cove]

More the school administrators and teachers wound too tight

We personally couldn't really care less

and yet...

That's why I said "based" 😛

Oh yeah for sure, most everywhere is, AMR is just the most visible.

Like I said, I'm west coast.

Big-ish city, too, so everything here's hella expensive, and people make the money to match.

[foggy jungle]

Pay here is just shy of $50,000 for a Fire Med with 5 years of cert. It's emaciated. And that's in a larger city. (Midwest)

[prisma holly]

Yiiiiiikes

[foggy jungle]

That pay scale seems in line with an NP working on an ACLS bus for an org that can pay to retain that capability.

[prisma holly]

AMR here starts at 60k for a medic card

[foggy jungle]

[prisma holly]

Admittedly they only go up to like 63

[foggy jungle]

I enjoyed working as a Medic, I had to drop it because AMR is one of the only two organizations in my county that retains Medics (the other being fire) and job competition is wicked hard for the fire slots as a result.

[prisma holly]

Okay so I just checked my city's website

Fire here makes $50/hr with a medic card after 5yrs

[foggy jungle]

Reportedly, there's some medics working in some of the ER's now too though.

[prisma holly]

Dang, slumming it with the basics as ER techs?

Or are they working vascular access etc

[foggy jungle]

A.) I think working in the ER is very good experience in general, especially if you're working within a trauma center or you're at a busier hospital in general.
B.) I honestly don't know how they're being utilized, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were offsetting the nurse shortage here in more specialized scenarios.

That work isn't necessarily above a Medic, we have a larger scope of practice, so it can be a good environment to utilize skills we may get very limited experience with otherwise.

[prisma holly]

Oh 100%, ER is good experience -- I've just not met a ton of paramedics who would drop their scope down to that of a basics.

[foggy jungle]

I don't think it's a reduction of scope; you're afforded more opportunities in that environment as a Medic.

Your scope as an EMT-B or A in ER isn't as wide because it's not supposed to be.

[prisma holly]

Hospitals here say that they'll only let you practice at -B

Could very well be nursing unions trying to stop the hospitals from edging out RNs by hiring medics though

[foggy jungle]

Yeah, unfortunately I'm not as intimately familiar with the details to glean on what their actual scope of practice is, just that we have a regional nurse shortage, and that anecdotally I recall another medic having a pretty broad scope within the TC.

[prisma holly]

I wouldn't be surprised considering you said midwest -- I know the nursing unions aren't as strong out there as they are on the coasts.

[foggy jungle]

That could be a direct result of the policy here though, which is already pretty broad and allows for a lot of leeway in treating prehospital.

[prisma holly]

Oh yeah? Good local protocols?

Mine are pretty reasonable for a basic scope, can't start IVs like you can in Colorado, but...

[foggy jungle]

Pretty much carte blanche; our county is enormous and I think establishing more restrictive policies would probably result in a lot of unnecessary headache in prehospital treatment, if downright not just killing people.

[prisma holly]

Oooh spicy

Do they let medics RSI?

Or is that still reserved for flight there

[foggy jungle]

This is a shitty answer but I don't actually know anymore. The flight med service was propped up pretty substantially since I left (It's been about 9 years since I was back in my hometown). When I was originally working and not just maintaining my cert, yes-- medics could RSI.

[prisma holly]

That's pretty great, honestly

I know a lot of places don't allow for RSI unless you're flight for... some unknowable reason

Well

I do know the reason

and it's because a lot of medics don't keep up their practice with intubation as much as they should, because our standards don't dictate it

[foggy jungle]

Scope of practice and policy varies so dramatically that it's almost hard to conceptualize anymore.

[prisma holly]

they let EMTs here place supraglottics, I have quite literally never seen some of my coworkers do more than the 2 or 3 placements a year they need to maintain their cert.

skills lab time is free, yknow?

[foggy jungle]

I mean-- you should be competent within your scope of practice and policy, but it's hard to encompass everything you might do in the field within a year.

[prisma holly]

Should and are are two different things yk?

Like most people are good at staying competent at shit, but I dunno. I feel like when you're taking somebody's airway, you should probably invest a little more time in making sure you're able to do that above the norm for your training.

High risk procedures should get practiced more, period.

Trying to find the minimum number of intubations practiced per year for my county right now but the page is not super helpful.

[foggy jungle]

Like I said, that's a departmental standard-- your department establishes the interval they're comfortable with you practicing in. I wouldn't lose sleep at night over that-- if the training standards dictate that I'm qualified to that minimal level and I cannot perform in the field, that's embarrassing organizationally but more or less indicative of shitty departmental standards.

[prisma holly]

That's fair

[foggy jungle]

Or a local oversight board, if you have one.

[prisma holly]

I'm still in my idealist phase where I want the state health board to come down and mandate education :P

[foggy jungle]

That would subsequently require additional pay, in reality. If the expectation is for you to be able to reliably perform difficult intubations (Which, don't misunderstand me, you should be able to do) then the training needs to support that level of qualification, and the pay needs to back up the continual training you're receiving.

[prisma holly]

Also ig leaning on shitty department standards as a reason to not practice doesn't quite sit right with me, if I fucked up because I wasn't as good as I should have been, I dunno how well I could sleep, yknow?

[prisma holly]

Oh 100%! The pay should 100% match the skills

[foggy jungle]

Because your department has the burden of training you to that level. I don't expect my basics to start lines-- there are situations where that would be an exceptionally useful, don't get me wrong, but policy dictates that even with oversight, prehospital I cannot let them start a line.

That strikes me as a likely wide standard aside from specific regions, in fact. But that's neither here nor there.

It's all about scope separation-- when you start blurring that line, it makes it hard to delineate actual responsibility.

[prisma holly]

nods

Ultimately you are practicing under your medical director's license.

So

ig there's always that to fall back on

[foggy jungle]

Correct. I get what you're saying, and morally I agree, but professionally I think it's difficult to advocate for without potentially creating environments where it's difficult to assign blame and get to the root cause of... well, virtually any mishap.

[prisma holly]

Yeah. I know the UK has things wrapped up pretty nice and neat with a bow on top in terms of paramedics being considered independent clinicians, but also it's a bachelors degree there.

[foggy jungle]

Yeah, the reality is America is absolutely gargantuan in comparison, so I think we'd face a staffing shortage if we started setting the expectation that medics should have a B.S. in Paramedic Medicine or whatever.

[prisma holly]

Yeah

Associates should be the bare minimum though, tbqh.

[foggy jungle]

I... really don't understand why vocational associates aren't assigned after acquisition of NREMT-P.

You have to be in a program that actually supports the AS.

[prisma holly]

I think most (all?) programs near me give you an AAS after completion of your medic program.

I know that my medic program will give me one.

[foggy jungle]

Not here,

[prisma holly]

;-;

[foggy jungle]

I think ultimately it ends up just being paper lipservice, but it would be nice for translation and transition outside the field if someone decided to go elsewhere.

[prisma holly]

I mean also it's knowledge base, yknow?

If you have an associates, you hopefully spent time learning things like in-depth anatomy & physiology, cellular biology, etc.

[foggy jungle]

Your knowledge base shouldn't really change that much between qualification with and without an associates.

Looking at one of our local AAS programs, it's essentially the same shit with some tack on classes and general education concepts.

I don't think medics need to know the principles of macroeconomics.

[prisma holly]

Eh, fair, at least in terms of your skills knowledge, but in terms of related information that's not mandatory to know but helpful to know... I feel like a college degree makes that more of a reality

[prisma holly]

This much is true.

My program makes me take some math, some writing, and a couple of other general courses though, so that I'm "well rounded," or something like that.

Hm, yeah

See, that makes sense.

[foggy jungle]

Ultimately these are the same classes I sat through in the training program, just sans the fluff that's required to fill out the AAS.

I'm actually fairly confident most of my Gen Ed's for science in my current degree program are derived from course credit in my certification program.

But I've suffered from a crisis of identity, so I'm not really sure what my actual full unabridged transcript looks like anymore or where credits are coming and going.

Also, just to make sure I'm representing myself more holistically, I was certified and worked for AMR, for about 11 months-- before it struck me as not really worth it pay wise to continue down that path. I joined the military and they paid for CEU's, but I eventually left the US and that was no longer practical. There are certainly people with a more comprehensive background-- and frankly, I'm not sure I'd say 11 months is enough to hold a qualified opinion.

[prisma holly]

nods

I've heard the military is pretty decent for doing cool shit as a medic

[foggy jungle]

I wasn't a Medic as my primary job, it just happened to be that the military was willing to pay to maintain that capability.

I did some medical instruction (TCCC and CPR) and facilitated some unit programs with the medical group, but that was about it.

Ironically, the CPR and another program (SABC, self-aid/buddy care) were extremely basic in their content but were the justification for me maintaining my cert for so long lol

[prisma holly]

Aaaah

I've heard TCCC is fun

[foggy jungle]

TCCC-ASM is a snooze fest. TCCC-CLS is pretty cool. I took -MP but it was taught by Pararescue personnel who know infinitely more about the subject than I could ever even try to comprehend.

Here's a cool document on the delineation between the course content: https://www.naemt.org/docs/default-source/education-documents/tccc/tccc-skill-sets-by-responder-level-master-190422-approved.pdf?sfvrsn=f8c3e093_2

[prisma holly]

Oooh

okay what

combat medic gets surgical cric... but not ET?

[foggy jungle]

Think about the medical delineation between the two in the combat care context.

[prisma holly]

yeah I suppose so

one's a lot faster

And you're probably doing it on somebody who has an incredibly compromised airway

[foggy jungle]

If you're doing a surgical cric in the field, under fire, the person you're doing it on is probably going to die without immediate medical intervention. You don't have a lot of time to delineate the scope or try to land a tube.

[prisma holly]

May not be suitable for ET intubation

yeah

fair

[foggy jungle]

Better to make with the stabbing, and sort it out later

[prisma holly]

xD

Holy shit, combat cath and balloon?

what

"here let me just open up your femoral artery and place a balloon while getting shot at, no biggie"

[foggy jungle]

That's mostly limited to Pararescue (in the context of the Air Force).

Pararescue is special operations, for background.

[prisma holly]

Ye

One of the highest washout rate special forces schools iirc

Guys you call when other special forces get in a sticky spot

[foggy jungle]

Yeppers. Considering the environments they operate in, their scope of practice is more or less unlimited.

[prisma holly]

Shit, man

That's cray cray

Like

I get why it's like that

But like damn

The ridiculous level of knowledge you must have to be able to feel confident in REBOA in the field

[foggy jungle]

Don't quote me but I believe that TCCC-ARC is specifically directed towards doctors working in that capacity as well.

[prisma holly]

That would make more sense, yeah

[foggy jungle]

I'm not familiar with the content in the course-- I'm not even sure it exists anymore, I believe it's just TCCC-CP with an asterisk.

[prisma holly]

In a total of 44 OOH cases performed in both military and civilian setting, 70.4% were males (mean age 32 ± 9.5 STD) with 28 cases of use in penetrating injury which were primarily treated with Zone I REBOA, and 16 cases of blunt injury applications which primarily involved Zone III placement. Among all 44 cases, 25 (56.8%) received Zone I and 19 cases (43.2%) received Zone III REBOA with a median duration of 35 min (31.3–36 IQR). Overall survival was calculated to be 88.6%.
Shiiiiiiiit that's effective, too.

No wonder they let them do it

[foggy jungle]

Hard for it not to be effective, to be fair lol

[prisma holly]

I mean

Yeah

Fair

You're occluding the aorta with a balloon to increase blood pressure xD

[foggy jungle]

Parameterized to the 'cath landed where it should be' and 'i didn't slam the plunger down after the bleed stopped', conceptually it's not crazy high-reaching.

That sounds like I'm saying I'm confident I could do it-- to be clear that is not the case lol

[prisma holly]

https://sjtrem.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13049-020-00807-9 if you wanna read it, btw

[prisma holly]

Ye fair

I get what you're saying though

It's not that conceptually difficult to teach, because it can be a muscle-memory type procedure.

[foggy jungle]

Also, not to nitpick, more for clarification-- I'm not sure an increased blood pressure is the direct association you should be making with REBOA, more just hemostasis.

[prisma holly]

Oh really? I was linking increased BP -> better cerebrovascular perfusion and assuming that helped with mortality rates

Although increased hemostasis does make sense

[foggy jungle]

I'll admit that I don't know much about REBOA aside from acknowledging that it exists-- but from my understanding the primary mechanism is just 'catheter based hemostat'. Increased pressure is a mechanism of hemostasis.

[prisma holly]

Ahhhhh

Okay, that makes sense

So wait

Is that hemostasis causes an increase in pressure, because you aren't leaky anymore?

Or is it an increase in pressure helps create hemostasis by supplying more clotting factors to the leak

[foggy jungle]

The former, but the later assertion is also likely correct. I think the later assertion kind of implies that REBOA would be a temporary fix once hemostasis is achieved-- once that balloon is inflated you're not taking it out without surgical intervention.

You're preventing a massive bleed by occluding an aorta. That is going to increase blood pressure. But it's in the primary pursuit of stopping the bleed, increased perfusion in general is going to be a consequence of your actions.

He asserts, confidently, with a very tenuous grasp of the concept of REBOA in general.

[prisma holly]

Aaah

Okay, yeah, that makes sense

[foggy jungle]

Like in the most basic sense, applying a TQ for a bleed will increase blood pressure and perfusion, but you're applying the TQ to stop the bleed.

[prisma holly]

I will admit that I wasn't expecting to learn about hemostasis and aortic occlusion with a balloon when I signed into Discord tonight but it's a pleasant surprise :P

Yeah okay fair, I don't think I've thought through the mechanism behind a TQ beyond "crank it down enough and the blood stops comin' out"

[foggy jungle]

[prisma holly]

Well, maybe than other "get a second one because the first didn't completely stop it"

[foggy jungle]

As your scope of practice expands, you get more tools to do it with. Often, your primary tool is your most effective anyway.

"Don't think about it too much, climb TQ's until you're out of room." is normally a fantastic blanket statement lol

[prisma holly]

Anyway, I'm off to work on implementing very basic Python functionality after this discussion about a very high level concept. I'll struggle more with the former than the later.

[foggy jungle]

Can't promise I'll hit the nail on the head every time, but I can normally offer at least a tenuous explanation of something.

[prisma holly]

I think the XML parser did more damage than trying to visualize freaking bone vasculature and skin vasculature

[prisma holly]

By all means. Also check out https://www.reddit.com/r/EKG/. Tons of rhythms to look at, with people typically explaining reasoning in the comments.

Ooh there's a sub to add to the rabbit hole

I'd work on recognizing various presentations of more common irregular rhythms than WPW lol

hey @foggy jungle, thoughts on double sequential external defibrillation for vfib refractory >3 shocks?

I’m seeing that it’s basically a hail mary and people don’t know if it actually does much?

[foggy jungle]

That's going to be a question for a cardiologist. Most medics are probably going to echo the same sentiment: They're not getting any deader.

Or to rephrase if you're hooked on the idea of 'dead' there, whatever medical interventions we do after a point are all hail mary's within the restrictions of department policy.

Yo guys I'm having a debate with my spoiled girlfriend
When u guys get a video recommended on Youtube, before you click on it do you do these:

1. Look at thumbnail and title
2. Look at how long the video is
3. Read at channel name and channel icon

Am I stupid or is she stupid

[young shoal]

you mean like, in order?

[rare copper]

No just how many of these do you do @young shoal

[young shoal]

yeah probably all of them

[rare copper]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

do u look at view count

[wraith hound]

i rarely watch youtube videos, but when i do i usually also check when it was made

[tranquil iron]

what are you saying though?

[tranquil iron]

no offense man, but that's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of as the basis for an argument with your gf.

but good on you for spoiling your girl

[rare copper]

@tranquil iron do u look at video length tho

[tranquil iron]

what difference does it make if I do or not?

[rare copper]

She's says no one look at it and im weird I said everyone does

[tranquil iron]

so what?

[rare copper]

so we trying to see who's wrong

[tranquil iron]

why?

[rare copper]

because it's friday and we have nothing better to do

[tardy rain]

If i say i look at video length who'd be wrong

[tranquil iron]

don't float through life without actual goals, man

I'll say I don't look at video length

now you're both wrong

THAT"S WHAT IM SAYINGGG BRO

[tranquil iron]

now I know you're lieing, you never wash dishes

[tardy rain]

Someone's got to lol

[rare copper]

my argument was youtubers make their video shorter because people will click on them

and she said no one looks at length

[tranquil iron]

you're both wrong

[rare copper]

and I said they also look at channel name and icon

[tardy rain]

Theres a sweetspot that maximises ad revenue

[tranquil iron]

also, you two sound like you deserve each other

[tardy rain]

Youtubers do look at vid length, viewers might not

[rare copper]

ohhhh

Idk myself Im more likely to watch a 6min vid

[tardy rain]

You ever notice videos be 10:01 or just over 10mins long?

[rare copper]

nah they changed that recently

u get double ads for 8min vid

[tardy rain]

lmao, bring xith

Xith must be too busy nowadays

I remember him being blazingly fast in pygen

[brazen ingot]

we do too

[tardy rain]

Fastest ban in the west

[brazen ingot]

@frozen crane go get some tips from xith 🥴

[frozen crane]

Xith had a reputation for being exceptionally fast for cases where it was obvious what to do. But for cases where it isn't obvious, it's important to be thoughtful.

and a new cat tree

can't force me to spend money on a partner if i have no partner

[tardy rain]

Take your cats on a date

[shut ermine]

[thin cloak]

Save money buy discount chocolate and flowers after the day or no dates

[low chasm]

mm, so I'm on the fence here. Currently, I use awesome and it's widget API. I've been meaning to rework my rice, and I'm considering ditching that and using eww (https://github.com/elkowar/eww) ~ what are the pros and cons of both?

[tranquil iron]

or chocolate flowers

[keen sparrow]

anyone has name idea from number 39?

create a word from the number thirty nine

[keen sparrow]

oh we have to set the name for 39th batch of certain project

[worldly ore]

slightly OT -does anyone know how the help system (python-help) on this server is set up (is it some readily available solution etc)? I'd love to try something similar on a local fablab server.

[terse heron]

It's just using discord's new forum channels system

@terse heron thank you - somehow I overlooked that option :D.

@thick osprey hey! Sorry for the ping.
Just finished Ender's Game and I'm wondering what the next logical book in the "series" is. The books don't seem to suggest at any order they should be read in :p and I'm itching for more

[young shoal]

ender's shadow

or speaker for the dead

[thick osprey]

I agree with psv. Ender's shadow is a good book and follows other aspects of the first. Speaker for the dead follows Ender in the years after. It's a good story, but a different story.

[young shoal]

ender's shadow starts a different series. it starts at the time of ender's game, but from beans perspective

[grave cove]

Gotcha. Same story, but different character

[gritty zinc]

huh, never actually read ender's shadow

I read speaker for the dead second and IMO it's like the best book of the series

[young shoal]

wow

[sharp urchin]

I know this is too much off topic but I want to know that do anyone of you invest in stock market?

[signal scroll]

no

[rugged owl]

Throw it in a mutual fund and come back in 20 years.

[sharp urchin]

as a teenager i can do that?

[rugged owl]

If your under 18, then take a look at the requirements for opening an account with a broker.

[sharp urchin]

ok is there an app for that

[young shoal]

yes, many. use Google

!float

[royal lake]

Floating Point Arithmetic
You may have noticed that when doing arithmetic with floats in Python you sometimes get strange results, like this:

>>> 0.1 + 0.2
0.30000000000000004

Why this happens
Internally your computer stores floats as binary fractions. Many decimal values cannot be stored as exact binary fractions, which means an approximation has to be used.

How you can avoid this
You can use math.isclose to check if two floats are close, or to get an exact decimal representation, you can use the decimal or fractions module. Here are some examples:

>>> math.isclose(0.1 + 0.2, 0.3)
True
>>> decimal.Decimal('0.1') + decimal.Decimal('0.2')
Decimal('0.3')

Note that with decimal.Decimal we enter the number we want as a string so we don't pass on the imprecision from the float.

For more details on why this happens check out this page in the python docs or this Computerphile video.

[jovial oriole]

Kahoot let's students rate games after they are finished, and I found a way to influence that immensely with no consequences

After the game has started I log in with 14 other tabs, and do nothing. So it does not seem like there are extra people

Then after I bomb the review section negatively

Only one person has suspected me of this

And i simply labelled them as mentally unstable

Simple

[dapper dew]

None of this seems good to me

[shut ermine]

this is why everyone should always ignore gamers they're either disingenuous or incorrect all the time about what they want in games lol

Bannable post imho

<@&831776746206265384>

just delete that I don't think this is following rules

[honest pawn]

kahoot patch, posts ip addresses of each client open

would be better than those stupid avatars, anyway

[young shoal]

what would that solve? most kahoots are done in a school where everyone is in the same classroom

[honest pawn]

oh, I thought ip addresses were unique to each device

i guess it doesn't matter

[fickle bison]

I think that'd cast more problems than it ever solves.

[honest pawn]

yeah probably

how about birthdates and names from email associated to the web browser?
preferably a social security number if they have it

[fickle bison]

Citizen and bank id too

[honest pawn]

idk any how many kids just have bank numbers lying around

but home address will do well enough

[young shoal]

do you know how much of an issue it would be if a website could access those on demand

[honest pawn]

would make for a cool ass metal gear game /s

[jovial oriole]

Only reason I'm doing this is so no one gets candy

And how do you get rid of calluses from barbells

[honest pawn]

skill issue

jk, but I personally wear gloves or some sort of padding to reduce them

[jovial oriole]

Okay

[clear plume]

Wear gloves or deal with them

And if you want them gone, do not, under any circumstance, pick at them or destroy them

It might be a good idea to just put some bandaids over them and call it a day

[floral apex]

The first thing that I see here is people suggesting Kahoot to become Facebook

[carmine apex]

@analog shale : fuzzy image is AES-ECB encrypted, random snow is AES-CBC. both encrypted images have their headers swapped with the original via

$ head -c 54 p1.bmp > header
$ tail -c +55 p2.bmp > body
$ cat header body > new.bmp

[analog shale]

what's the third one

[carmine apex]

that's the snow (borrowing name from TV static) - AES-CBC, although most (all?) non-ECB AES modes will look the same

discord's preview compression hurts the quality a little, and it has a noticeable moire pattern for tux, but the general idea is quite clear

[rugged owl]

These icons are new right? Or am I being A/B tested?

[shut ermine]

i feel like they've been there for at least a couple months already

[keen marsh]

I have the icons on my personal computer but not on my work computer

so it's probably an experiment

[rough sapphire]

They're in mobile Google

Not desktop Google, though

So probably A/B testing

[rugged owl]

That screenshot is from my desktop computer.

[rough sapphire]

Oh, I meant that they were in my mobile Google

[thick ore]

should i use .yml or .yaml? i know this is practically meaningless, but which one is "standardized" or more popular

[jaunty wraith]

.yaml I suppose

[winged nova]

can anyone help me find what is wrong with my batch file

[rough sapphire]

[signal scroll]

yes

[plucky ridge]

I'm getting choice paralysis. Going to be trying to make a Riichi Mahjong game for web, and I'm stuck in "the hell should I use to make it" hell. Do I use something like Godot, do I use one of the JS frameworks like PixiJS or Phaser... Like it's going to be simple, just a 2d thing

[uneven pine]

I'm always against anything JavaScript

[plucky ridge]

Sure but it's web, hard to avoid it

And I'd likely be using TypeScript instead anyway

[low chasm]

JS should be alright

[plucky ridge]

Hmm... then I guess it's which of the game engines to use. pixijs or phaser

[grave cove]

Webasm

Or if you want to go with something minimalist like fix error, Javascript and HTMLCanvas will do

[plucky ridge]

I want something to make it easy. I don't need fine granular controls

[graceful basin]

I would go with p5.js, it is quite simple

though I am not sure how good is it at games

[jovial oriole]

Guidance counselor just curled 90 pounds

How

[low chasm]

that's like, around average isn't it

how tall are they?

[jovial oriole]

5 9 to 10

I dunno if 90 is a lot

My best is only 40

[jovial oriole]

So it seems like alot

[young shoal]

bruh curling?

[low chasm]

oh, lol

I was about to say it might've been under average for an adult 🥴 misread it as their bench

but like, even for a curl, 90 isn't far fetched or anything either, is it

[young shoal]

uhh

[tardy rain]

90lbs curl is decent

Barbell is 45, add 20lbs plates to it and its an ok curl

[dapper dew]

Single handed barbell curl for 90 lbs is pretty wild

[low chasm]

for one handed, yeah

[jovial oriole]

Why can't I Uninstall netflix

Android

Doesn't let me

[jovial oriole]

He did a bench of around 200

[honest pawn]

for some reason, 200 lb bench press doesnt seem like "much" to bench compared to 90 lb curl

[acoustic moss]

whats the difference

[tranquil orchid]

curling is far harder, you've got the force of the weight acting at a distance from where your muscles are applying force. I know it doesn't seem like far but it's the same reason why just holding something light with your arm out straight can be harder than it seems, something something torque

[quick ledge]

you also use less number of muscles I think

[tardy rain]

Curling dangerous

Boys think its cool to curl a lot but your biceps are actually tiny ass muscles relatively
Dont wreck your arms to look cool

Everyone needs to watch biceps getting torn off at least once

[acoustic moss]

ill pass

[tardy rain]

Oh no you dont

[paper sequoia]

Link 👀?

[tardy rain]

Dont search for it, its a rite of passage

It will come to you when youre ready

Kind of like gym puberty

[paper sequoia]

Don't search -> experience it yourself (btw, don't)

[tardy rain]

Anyway if you want tree trunks for arms you should be training your triceps
